"1. Non-living things gave rise to living material. Spontaneous generation. "


ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! First cause of life is not in the Theory of Evolution. The Theory of Evolution explains the facts on how life changed over millions of years. Stop combining hypotheses with the Theory of Evolution.

It is a nasty rhetorical trick that makes Christians who understand science, embarrassed to have you calling yourself a Christian.

First cause of life is not in the Theory of Evolution.

The first cause of life is not a question that can be so easily dismissed by theories of evolution. Take a look at most public school textbooks today and see if they do not address the question along the lines of spontaneous generation. They do.

If theories of evolution (which by definition ascribe specific processes to the development of life on earth) want to adopt the notion that history is uniform, then they must work themselves all the way back to the most primitive of conditions. Good heavens. They have no problem swiping billions of years out from under their belts. Why not grab a few billion more? That is, if they want to be consistent.

But the debate will undoubtedly shift to more accusations of "bait and switch." While theories of evolution would like to claim consistency all over the place, it does not come into play where abiogenesis is concerned. Such is the world of ad hoc "science."
